​Kumihimo Braids

Kumihimo is a Japanese technique for creating braids, cords, and bands. In this class students will explore different shapes of the braid (round, square, and flat). Instruction will be given on how to use a Kumihimo disk, it is a firm foam plastic with 32 notches that is used for braiding.
